The first step.

I...don't know what to feel.

Elation.
Relief.
Disbelief.
Joy.
Worry.
Nervousness.
Excitement.
Anxiousness.
Peace.
Hope.
Gratefulness.

Those are just some of the options. On the whole though, I feel muted.

Perhaps this will illustrate better how I feel;

As we waited outside the MPPJ building for the official announcement of Uncle Siva's win, a little girl, about the age of 4, was twirling around a giant Keadilan flag. As she dragged the flag around in slow, lazy, content circles, she quietly sang to herself 'Merdeka....merdeka..merdeka'.

Yup, that's about right.


ps: Malaysians, I'm SO PROUD OF YOU!
